Averagely wise a person ought to be,
never too wise;
for those people have the best sort of life,
who know a fair amount.

Of small sands, of small seas, small are the minds of people; for all thus all people aren't equally wise,
half wise, half not, everywhere.

A person need not give only a big gift,
often you buy praise with a little;
with half a loaf and a tilted cup
I've got myself a companion.

Hotter than fire between bad friends
burns fondness for five days;
but it dies down when the sixth day comes,
and all that friendship goes to the bad.

The  fir-tree withers which stands on the farm-stead,
neither bark nor needles protect it; so it is with the person whom no one loves,
how should they live for long?

My clothes I gave out in the field
to two wooden people;
champions they thought themselves when they had clothing,
the naked one is despised.

Generous and brave people live the best,
seldom do they harbour sorrow,
but the cowardly person is afraid of everything,
the miser always worries when they get gifts.

I was young once, I travelled alone,
then I found myself going astray;
rich I thought myself when I met someone else,
for one is the joy of another

Again, concerning the one whom you don't trust,
and whose mind you suspect:
you should laugh with them and disguise your thoughts,
a gift should be repaid with a like one.

If you've another, whom you don't trust,
but from whom you want nothing but good,
speak fairly to them but think falsely
and repay treachery with a lie.

You know, if you've a friend whom you really trust
and from whom you want nothing but good,
you should mix your soul with them and exchange gifts,
go and see them often.

To their friend a person should be a friend
and to their friend's friend too;
but no person should be a friend
to the friend of their enemy.

To their friend a person should be a friend
and repay gifts with gifts;
laughter should be accepted with laughter
but return deception for a lie.

With weapons and gifts friends should gladden one another,
those which can be seen on them;
mutual givers and receivers are friends for longest,
if the friendship keeps going well.

Their piled-up property
a person shouldn't go without;
what you meant for the those you love is often saved for those you hate,
much goes worse than is expected.

l never found a generous person, nor one so unstingy with food,
that they wouldn't accept what was given;
or one so open-handed with possessions
that they disliked a gift when offered.

From their weapons on open land
no person should step one pace away;
for it can't be known for certain, out on the road
when a person might have need of their spear.

A farm of your own is better, even if small,
everyone's someone at home;
a person's heart bleeds when they has to beg
for food for themselves at meal-times.

A farm of your own is better, even if small,
everyone's someone at home;
though they have two goats and a twig-roofed room,
that is still better than begging.

A person must go, they must not remain a guest
always in one place;
the loved person is loathed if they sit too long
in someone else's hall.

It's a great detour to a bad friend's house,
even though they live on the route;
but to a good friend's house the ways lie straight,
even though they live far off.

An early meal a pwrson should usually eat,
unless they are visiting friends;
They sit and gaze around hungrily, acts as if they are starving
and doesn't make conversation.

Many people are devoted to one another
and yet they fight at feasts;
amongst them there will always be strife,
guest quarrelling with guest.

Wise that person seems who retreats when one guest is insulting another;
the person who mocks at a feast doesn't know for sure
whether they shoot off their mouth amid enemies.

Into a laughing-stock no person should make another,
though they come to visit the household;  
many a person seems wise if they are not asked questions
and they manage to lurk unscathed.
